FoodieCrush saw plenty of new recipes go live in 2017, and while I believed each one had merit, the final ranking reflects what YOU—my readers—loved most.
The greatest recipes earn a permanent spot in our rotation—dishes we return to again and again, the kind that anchor an ever-growing collection of go-to meals and leave everyone scraping the plate for more.
Over the past year I have experimented, refined, and cleaned up countless kitchen disasters. Many triumphs emerged from the chaos, alongside a number of flops that never made it to the blog. My hope is that these recipes encouraged you to gather in the kitchen, create lasting memories, and serve up something wonderful—because few things compare to sharing an outstanding meal with the people who matter most.
Below, I'm thrilled to share YOUR picks for the 20 most-clicked, most-bookmarked, and hopefully most-cooked recipes on FoodieCrush this past year. Some are brand new, others are trusted classics you clearly can't get enough of, but every single one earned a place in FoodieCrush readers' hearts.
Dig in, friends. ?
"I think of myself as an enchilada sauce snob. Not the type of sauce snob who makes my own, just the sauce snob who "knows" a good enchilada sauce when I encounter it. I have always wanted to try and make it myself, but had no idea where to begin. That is until I found this recipe. It is so easy to make. Not only do I love it, my picky kids love it too. They argued over who would get to lick the spoon! I highly recommend this recipe." ~ Jamie

"Soooo delicious! Full disclosure, I skipped the "cabbage bath," followed the dressing recipe, but only added the celery and kosher salts and pepper to taste. Just an absolutely amazing flavour! I have been searching for "the perfect" coleslaw dressing and this is, as the name implies, the best. Thank you Heidi.." ~ Cate

"Hi, I wanted to let you know that I made this last night. Hubs could not get enough and proclaimed that we need to have it at least once a week in perpetuity. It was really delicious. I added celery and a small handful of blanched broccoli. Forgot the red onions, but we love them, so…next time. Love how versatile it is according to personal tastes and that it's a great way to get lots of veggies in. Thank you!" ~ Linda

"This was the best recipe I've tried all year! I thought I had vegetable oil and then ended up not, so we substituted melted butter and WOW. We also threw some bean sprout in with the basil and cilantro. This dish couldn't get any better. Thank you for the easy and fun recipe! Hopefully you have some more coming using that fish sauce, since I don't know what else to do with it! ?" ~ Stephanie
